We were fortunate to recently learn more about NCATS recently and wanted to share information on this cost-free risk assessment resource option. NCATS is a group of highly trained information security experts within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) National Cybersecurity & Communications Integration Center (NCCIC). Their mission: To help stakeholders pro-actively identify cybersecurity risks and build up our national cybersecurity defenses. NCATS assessments are not conducted in reaction to an incident but instead are used to identify, mitigate and remediate vulnerabilities prior to exploitation by an attacker.
NCATS defines their work as: A proactive, risk-based approach to analyzing stakeholder systems
Expertise in identification of vulnerabilities, risk evaluation, and prioritized mitigation guidance
